Supporting the Foundation

The Foundation for California Community Colleges is built to benefit, support, and enhance the mission of the California Community College system.

The Foundation pursues philanthropic, corporate, and government grants, contracts, donations, and products or services to support and accelerate priorities of the Chancellor’s Office and our fiscally sponsored projects.
